PAGES

Monday, July 16, 2012

Our July workshop participants have submitted their revised first five pages based on the input they received from each other and our guest mentors, Becca Puglisi and Sarah Ockler. This begins our next round of editing, and we need your help!

Please let the writers know how well the pages are working overall. What did you like? What didn't you like? Is the story moving quickly enough? Does it start in the right spot now? Does it capture your interest? What about the characters? Can you see them? Do you want to know them better? Do you want to spend a whole book's worth of time reading about them?

Let us know! This will be a big help for the writers, but it is also a great process for anyone interested in writing for young adults. See what you can learn from these authors and from the comments the entries receive. What do you agree with? How does your opinion differ? Why?

WRITING CONTEST

To keep subscribers from getting inundated by posts, we've moved our agent-judged writing contests off to Adventures in YA Contests, a separate site just for AdventuresInYAPubilshing.com contests. Stay tuned for a new contest starting soon!

AdventuresInYAPublishing.com sometimes receives books for free from publishers or authors in the hope that we will mention them on the blog, but otherwise we receive no compensation for writing posts or content on this site. We have no material connections to the brands, products, or services mentioned, except those by individual site members in their capacity as authors. Our posts often include convenient links, and a small commission may be paid on some of these if you purchase the item after clicking. We use the income from this and from sidebar advertising to help defray the costs of postage for mailing books to giveaway winners. Inclusion of a book on the site does not imply an endorsement unless the individual who authored the post specifically states that they have personally read the book or believes the product or service mentioned will add value to our readers.
